Seems like G-Trax is making a interurban route! From what i have seen with Stevens pass this should be NICE!

Many more screen shots on the web site (URL in my sig).

I'll be happy to answer any questions, though the information page should cover most of it.

I'm looking forward to this route. Interurban opens up a whole new area for vintage routes.

Holy cow! It's great to see a proper interurban route at last. From the looks of it so far this is going to be a good one. Thank you Rick and Jim!

I'm guessing this is the "San Francisco" route mentioned in the TS 2017 preview video and as most of the other GTrax are on Steam I'm betting this one will be also.

My best bet the San Francisco route announced might be covering CalTrain, Amtrak California, or even BART.

Mr. Rick Grout,
If I may, I do have a few questions for you. Why do the trailing cars not have head lamps? I've been doing some research on the Sacramento Northern in accordance with my obligatory 'hype up' for this new route, and found that the same was done in the real world. Did they use loops at the end of the line? Or could the head lamp be removed and attached to the rear of the train? Or maybe they shoved the train? In which case does the trailing car even have controls? Anyway, please don't take this as me discouraging your FINE work. I am a long time customer and will continue to be, you guys never disappoint! I was just curious as to what the SN's operational practices were as I can't find anything on the subject myself.

Hope all is well!

-Jerry

As someone that grew up in the Bay Area and only heard about the Key System from my parents and Grand Parents, this is super cool.
I'm visiting at my mother's today and showed her this. She just got the biggest smile at seeing this.
I'm wondering if this includes the line and tunnel that goes up and over near Tilden Park and Snake Rd. *!greengrin!*

*!!thnx!!*
